IE7

[Hans Dietrich]

Sorry if this has been asked before: Is it possible to have IE6 and IE7 installed on the same computer?

Best wishes, Hans

I doubt it.

i don't think so. the installer usually detects older versions and updates them.

Yeah, I think it's called a Mac. ;P

I've tried previously though in Firefox when I downloaded it's standalone version. No need to install it. At that time I had 2 firefox on my computer. But your talking about both versions installed on the PC though.

I've used both 5 and 5.5 (aka the true acid test for bad browsers) from evolt[^]. I see they also have 6, so that should work. Maybe. Your mileage will vary.

I thought that a few months back someone pointed out that IE6 is simply moved to another spot on the system and could still be accessed.

[FyreWyrm]

Yes. A search on Google will reveal multiple options for doing the set up, or you can go here http://tredosoft.com/Multiple_IE[^] and download the Multiple IE installer.

Same computer, install Virtual PC, install IE6 or 7 in the Windows running in virtual PC.:-D

Only if you partition your HDD correctly.

i also dont think it will work, but if you say the reason why you need this , some body might be able to help you in another way.

It can be done. Check this link: http://tredosoft.com/Multiple\_IE It comes as a very simple to install setup file. Enjoy.

Its very easy. A google search will help. Look for IE6Eolas downloads. Its a zip file with all the ie6 files needed in it and you just unzip them and run ie6 easy. We use it at work for testing. No partitions, no virtual machines just sits in my quick launch bar like any other program. Although I havent tested it very much as I use IE7 when Im making web pages (which I do a lot as a web programmer) I always test them in IE6 using the program above and it works well.

I have both...well, a standalone version of IE7 which works well on the odd occasion I use it. I think I got it from here: http://weblogs.asp.net/jgalloway/archive/2006/07/26/IE7-Standalone-_2800_Updated-for-IE7-Beta-3_2900_.aspx[^]

The question's a bit rhetorical as far as Windows is concerned, because I don't think you can install IE6 on Vista, and you have to have XPSP2 to install IE7, where IE6 is installed as part of the OS. So, if you're on XPSP2 and have installed IE7, they are both installed. If you uninstall IE7, IE6 should reappear by magic. Now, running them concurrently or separately is a different matter, but it should be possible with some judicious partitioning. Noel
